Oh My Sister

Oh, my sister, what did you say to them?
You've got to use a little tact
Leave out words like 'bombs', 'gurus', or 'India'
You won't set the world on fire if you separate yourself from them like that

Oh, my sister, you are so critical
How did you ever get this hard?
He only wanted to kiss you and when he couldn't 'score'
He told his friends and now all the boys are afraid of you

Of us all, you were most modest
Even though you were last to lower your hem
Throw your jeans out the window, put them on behind the fence
Oh, I laugh, you put such feeling into your indifference

Oh, my sister, you don't know why I love you
It could be the untouchable innocence that I see in you sometimes
Or the loss that I feel when you pass through my mind
Or maybe because I'm supposed to

Oh, my sister, where are you living now?
You left 'nirvana' as your forwarding address
Well, that's very funny from a mile and a half
But up close at home, it's not like that, why don't you send us a letter?
Oh, my sister
